A 10-day immersive expedition, providing an exhilarating opportunity to perfect wildlife photography across two juxtaposing environments. Experience the Big 05 in Zambia’s Lower Zambezi River in the same breath as Madagascar’s endemic species, on an award-winning luxury photographic adventure. Picture the world through a VIP lens on this wildlife focussed expedition from the Savannah to the Sea; Zambia to Madagascar. Through the bush and beyond, Mission05 have joined forces with Zambia’s ultimate wildlife connoisseurs as well as an exclusive Madagascan Island, to deliver an incredibly captivating wildlife photography workshop. At the heart of the activity, you will have your own stretch of the Zambezi River followed by your own Island, giving you the best chance for exceptional wildlife encounters.

A wildly intimate land safari paired with an exquisite private island, we invite you to endure enhanced photographic production. Capture the resident elephants wade across the river, snap the vervet monkeys scampering in the canopies and soar the skies on a heli-expedition over a Madagascan paradise.

The Ultimate Wildlife Photography Experience

Your base of the next 10 days captures the true essence of luxury, in the most natural of settings. To begin your journey, secured by local guides, you shall be led into Chongwe’s back yard, a retreat that is set within the most picturesque and remote landscape along Zambia’s Zambezi.

Dotted along the forested riverbanks of the Lower Zambezi River, Chongwe House is famed for having the best views, and active residents. Elephants casually wander through the camp as you read a book, stargaze, or swim in the pool after a long day out on safari. Despite the wild setting, luxury can be expected here at Chongwe. To compliment your tranquil and remote view, you can expect warm hospitality and extraordinary culinary delights. During your stay, enjoy our impressive wildlife photography workshops across a variety of safari encounters, created for the ultimate exploration of this magnificent African paradise. By land, you can enjoy game drives and walking safaris, or take to the rivers and explore with boat cruises, canoeing safaris and tiger-fishing. Get up close and personal to the Big Five, birding and game, as they nurture their natural surroundings. Back in camp, the brand new wildlife hide is also great for wildlife photography, especially rare nocturnal creatures under the stars.

From here, you will make your own way (private jet options available on request) to Nosy Ankao, where your remaining 05 nights are placed on a remote, deserted island in the north of Madagascar. Surrounded by castaway luxury, open your eyes and enjoy bountiful beauty. Explore and embrace the local endemic species of flora and fauna, discover natural habitats and take on the challenge of the local terrain. Helicopter, dive, fish, research and relax in the world’s most pristine and private lodge.
